Gratis. a desperate effort is being made
by Democrats to divert attention from
these issues and to circulate false state
ments regarding Governor Foraker and his
position, and to make people believe that
which is not true concerning him. Re
publicans must be watchful, and should
treat ali emmissaries from the Demo-
cratic camp in such manner as not to
encourage them in their attempt to
ALLEVIATE honest and intelligent men from
the party to which they belong, the Re
publican party.

NOBODY has forgotten the frauds and
forgeries of 1885. 1t would be supposed
that Democratic campaign managers,
mindful of the indignation against them
on account of those frauds, would now
avoid similar tactics; but they have
shown their inability to appreciate the
weight of public opinion by again en-
ploying similar tactics in regard to Gov
ernor Foraker's special message, and the
present management of the Democratic
campaign is evidently prepared to go to
the same length and depth which was
reached in the campaign of 1885, which
was under the management of Mr..
Powell, the present Democratic candi-
date for governor.

THE breath of a chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he be-
comes an object of disgust. After q
time liberation sets in, the spongy bones
are attacked. and frequently entirely
destroyed. A constant scource of dis
comfort is the dripping of the purulent
secretions into the throat sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which
in its turn has been the exciting cause
of pulmonary disease. The brilliant re-
suits which have attended its use for
for years past properly designate Ely's
Cream Balm as by far the best and only
cure. 10 Is 2t.

The New York World is exceedingly
unkind in reminding Cleveland that in
1852 Gen. Scott, when the Wing candi-
date for President, made a tour of the
West and South and was every where
received by the people with unbounded
enthusiasm; yet when the election came
off Scott carried but AZ electoral votes
out of 296. The World ought to have
sufficient respect for the President to
permit him to enjoy himself while
swinging the circle.

THE DOW LAW.

Every voter should remember that the
election of the Democratic ticket means
the destruction of the Dow law and a
consequent increase in taxes The Scott
law had just begun to be appreciated
when the Democratic state ticket was
elected in 1888, and then it was destroyed
and the $4,000, 600 of taxes from it had
to be levied on other taxpayers Now
we have the Dow law in full operation.
and in case Mr.. Powell and the Demo
cratic ticket is elected Mr.. Powell has
pledged himself to have the Dow law de-
stroyed, which will result directly in
raising the taxes of all the people. The
s., 900, 600 realized from the Dow tax will
have to be paid by those who now are
fully taxed in case the Dow law is de-
stroyed.

AMONG the speakers announced for
Republican meetings to be held in this
county our readers will have noticed the
name of Mr.. James Moore, attorney al
law, of this place. 1t is well understood
that Mr.. Moore has heretofore been a
Democrat, and that this is the first time
be was ever announced to speak at Re
publican meetings. He has Stumpsd
the county many time in former years
for The Democratic party and his friends
of both parties will naturally want to
hear what be has to say now on the Re-
publican side. While we do not under
take to speak for Mr.. Moore, at all. we
may say what we have happened to
know of him, that he regarded the
nomination of Grover Cleveland by the
Demo cratic party as great blunder,
and his election as misfortune to the
country, and since his Inauguration as
| President Mr., Moore has ceased to take
any interest il politics on the Demo
cratic side. Mr.. Moore was a gallant
| soldier, serving in the Union army FROM
The beginning to the close of the war.
and having heard for the past two and
hall years, in veto messages and Dem
0cratic papers, so much about the SOL
diers being tramps, and paupers, and
dead beats, and contrasting these sneers
with what he knew of his brave ccm+
rades through the long, dark struggle
of four years and over, 1t is not to be
wondered at that he should become dis
gusted, and seek refuge with those who
always stoUd by the soldier and the
cause for which he fought. But Mr.
Moore is abundantly able to speak for
himself, and we are sure that be will
satisfy every one who hears him as to
why be is in the Republican party to-
day.-Cadiz Republican.

Shallow Culture Best.

Prof. Goff, of the New York Exper-
mental Station, gives some interest
ing information in the Philadelphia
Press about the roots of corn, which
will explain the reason why shallow
cultivation is not only advisable, but
indispensable He writes:
Il have just spent an hour in exam
ming the roots of three hills of corn
in the hope Of gaining light as to the
most rational method of cultivation
for the yonng crop. The talIest leaves
Of the plants examined when drawn
upright average nearly ten inches III
length. The longest roots had already
grown to distance of foot, and
many of the roots had attained the
length of inches. At date, the prin-
cipal root in each plant is the one that
starts from the kernel with the up
ward shoot, or what would be the tap
root in some other plants. At the
first node of the stem above the ker-
mel circle of roots has formed, some
of which have already reached the
length of eight inches. But these
roots have as yet formed no branch
let's, and hence probably do the plant
little good. But the primary root in
every plant examined is densely cloth
ed with fbrous branches, some of
which are now nine inches long.
In one plant, which seemed to be
an average one, [ counted 80 branch
let's within the space Of one inch AS
this root was nine inches long and the
branches averaged at least three inch
es in length, it appears that this plant
has already developed at least 100 feet
of branchlets. The primary roots in
no case had grown directly downward.
They usually were found to extend in
a direction little below horizontal,
so that their extremities were about
four inches below the surface. The
roots which grew out above the ker-
mel were more shallow, their extremi-
ties being from two to three inches
below the surface.
I'm order to see how many Of these
roots are likely to be severed in ordi-
nary cultivation | inserted spade to
the depth of two or three inches on
each Of the four sides of hill of corn,
keeping about three inches from the
hill, then carefully washed away the
soil sufficiently to expose the roots,
so that | could see how many of the
latter had been cut. To my surprise
| found that, independent of branches,
the number of large roots cut was 12
Had inserted the spade an inch deep
er almost all Of the roots would have
been cut. As it was, several Of the
roots that started from below the ker-
mel were severed.
1.-THE question may well be asked
whether cutting the main roots Of
corn at the present stage Of growth
can be other than detrimental, and
whether the most jealous advocates Of
root pruning would recommend begin
ming this process so early. Do farmers
generally realize the extent to which
the roots of young corn plants are lac
Grated when the cultivator teeth are
run three inches deep and close to the
hills? My observations make it clear
that no harm would result in insert
ing the middle tooth of the cultivator
to any desired depth, but I think the
question may well be asked whether
harm does not result by disturbing
the soil near the plants to a greater
depth of one inch, or at most two
inches.

After all the pretensions of Mr..
Cleveland and his friends regarding
the improvement of the public SER
vice, and the removal Of officials from
political work, the Democratic officials
have been as enthusiastic in whooping
up the Democratic tickets in the va
rious precincts and districts, as any Of
their predecessors. The cry about
Civil Service Reform, was Of course
all sham, and peculiarly and charac-
teristically Democratic.

The Macarthur Democrat -Enquirey

The Macarthur Democrot-Enqmirer,
referring to the Records war on the
doggery at Macarthur Junction, says,
among other things:
docs not the sympathy for these
fellows encourage them to continue in
their intemperate course? Whatever
they may do, they have come to un-
derstand will be laid at the door of the
saloon by the people who believe such
bad ethics
The persons referred to in this ex-
tract are the men who drink. The
writer is correct in his view that a
goodly share Of blame should be at
tached to the man who drinks, but
decidedly in error as to the tendency
of drinkers to blame the evils of in
temperance on the doggery-keepers.
There are many drinking men who
have sufficient conscience left to place
the blame where it belongs. but so
prevalent is the opposite condition as
to render it almost rule, and the
miserable victim of the doggery will
go to any length to protect the man
who has sold him the stuff which has
been his ruin. The drinkers do not
take advantage Of the thought that
the evils Of drinking will be blamed
upon the seller, they endeavor by
every reasonable and unreasonable
method to protect the seller from such
blame. The fact is, as long as there
is an Internal doggery in a neighbor-
hood there will be drunkenness and
other crimes. Through it all, not one
word Of excuse can be uttered for the
miserable wretch who keeps the den
that curses the community.
